The meal will include corned beef and cabbage and baked fish. The doors open at 5 pm for the raffle 50-50 and gathering time.

Respite Volunteers of Shiawassee is a Faith in Action non-profit that serves Shiawassee County. Volunteers primarily provide friendly visiting with the patient and the person’s family caregivers. Patient and Caregiver Education is also provided to help persons know and access all the other senior & home care services available. Volunteers are matched with a person in their own community, and usually provide 1.5-3 hours of help weekly. Volunteer opportunities also include; helping in the office, helping with events, helping with fundraisers, special projects for the persons and caregiving families served, and helping maintaining the office, building and grounds.

Individual tickets are $40, in advance and available at the Respite Volunteers of Shiawassee office at (989) 725-1127. Respite Volunteers of Shiawassee is located at 710 W.
